Stars of 1998 Play-off final to appear at Legends United game

Tuesday 1st August 2017

Clive Mendonca and Saša Ilic are the latest Charlton Athletic legends to be confirmed for the Legends United game on Sunday 17th September.

Super Clive was renowned for his lethal finishing in his time at Charlton between 1996 and 2003. He unforgettably scored the last hat trick at the old Wembley as Charlton beat Sunderland in the 1998 Division 1 Play-Off final.

Goalkeeper Saša Ilic etched his name into Charlton folklore that day too, as he saved the decisive penalty in the dramatic shoot-out.

Saša now runs a hotel in Montenegro and will be making the trip over especially for the game.

Charlton fans will get the chance to pit their skills against the pair, who will be taking part in a penalty competition, an experience which will be auctioned off in the coming weeks in aid of Charlton Athletic Community Trust.
